Pick a present-day new religious movement (Wikipedia has a useful list). Extrapolate it, fairly roughly, into a structure like that of a large-scale religion of today. Pick another new religious movement that arises out of a present-day large faith and try to apply the same kind of changes to your made-up religion. If it isn't weird enough yet, repeat the cycle.
